    The only thing I got to say that well yes  you made somewhat improvement on the Amandas by letting the younger players get Uranium but too small of amount. If giving amandas 60's between 13 to close to 15 K then the amandas 45 should get get at least 8 to 10K of Uranium and amandas 30 should at least get 6 to 8K of Uranium. That will keep the younger player going and more chance to retro the tech for their ships overall it keep the game going. :)  Now with amandas 60's  should have left it alone because it the same as a amandas 75 so why have 2 set the same ???

    When will we be seeing the build times get addressed or are they going to be.

    The state of the game post suggested it was in the works for Jan-March.

    I, personally, am afraid to start any major builds right now.  I don't have the time, or patience, and I've got at least 14 two-to-three-day refits that I need to do in advance of the raid.  I haven't even started my first drac bomber build, and those are all 12-day builds (so, I guess I'll let you guys know what I think in 6 months or so).

    The build time thing is ridiculous.  I understand completely why it's still an issue - money - but as a low-spending player it REALLY pisses me off that the team didn't even bother to de-escalate the costs of old hulls as they rolled out new ones.

    if your carrier build is 12 days, thats 3 done every month.  why do you want to build 18 of them over 6 months?
    LOL!!! Just so you know, and can join us in 2015 on planet Earth...Our month's here have 28-31 days. (Feb has 28)
    Also, some simple math: 12 x 3 = 36.
    In case you don't see your error: 36 - 30 = 6.
    You must  live on a planet  with 36 day long months.
    Here, however, that is about a month and a week in real life.

    Overall, seems solid.  There should probably be a WIP that reverses today's armada updates though.

    did you get carriers like Shapu? i'd imagine if you could get, or at least now have, you should be in a position to get tokens.

    12 days  for no armor maybe 2 spec  and only 6 uav's  and i know of no month with 36 days in it  so do the math that's 2and a half  useless  half built carriers

    Not right changing the 60 Armadas damage and keeping the same payout of uranium...come on its hard enough to find 60s in some sectors let alone being able to hit them before someone else hits it...So now kixeye makes it even harder to get uranium and in return makes it harder to get to orange treat level for sectors...Though kixeye was trying to make it easier to get to orange treat level...

    Get rid of the goddam bullseye on my base when I'm researching!

    The time loss on a hit is bad enough. Painting "HEY COME HIT ME NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!" on my base has GOT to go.

    I swear that a job requirement to work at Kix is an IQ lower than 70 and/or the complete lack of ability to reason the consequences of actions.

    Feel sorry for Doom, i happily gave kix 3 months and was willing to wait for 5 months just to see if they kept to their word...... Smoke and mirrors as usual, dev team must be complete monkeys. Every plus for the players so far has been met with 3 minuses for the players, and the armada sham is tipping me close to the quitting edge. Make me WANT to coin (i.e. FUN), don't FORCE me to coin there's no fun in that. Again, feel sorry for Doom, he is but the middle man so many point the finger at. Just remember, there are MASSIVE idiots above and around him ruining the game.
    Please correct me if I am wrong on my post, but the Dev team is just that. They have someone telling them what to develop and what not to develop. Battle Pirates is not a Indie game created by a few people in the basement of their moms house. This is a full fledged business and the Dev probably don't have full range on the stuff they can do. So I am not saying you are right or wrong but I would want to make sure before I placed blame on the Dev team. (I try to think of these guys coming up with awesome ideas and them getting shot down by the boss man, its his job to make sure they stay profitable, the dev team just want to build and collect a paycheck how much money the company makes in profits is not their concern) anyways thats my take on it.

    So glad I bought Black Ops 3 instead of coining my tiger fleet....this game is a joke now.
    If you could complain about anything it should be about black Ops 3, you pay 60 dollars for the same game they put out every year and just change the name. lets not even talk about the extra 60 dollars you are going to pay for in DLC maps that you already paid for in past COD games. talk about a joke.

    Atleast youd get the full game for 120 quid and the enjoyment it brings e.g. its ready play when you are, try spending 120 quid on BP you get one an a bit ships out of 5, your base would still get flattened most times when you log on  lol

    Are you seriously trying to compare $60 a YEAR as opposed to the $700+ a month Kixeye wants you to spend to coin a new fleet after each raid?
    You must be smoking some strong stuff, lol

    the change of armadas is completely insane. 

    I have no clue at all why they made this change. Even if they wanted to make the targets harder and get us more damage, this change is nuts. High level players who could do drac60 easily could also do drac75 easily, so they didn't bother about 60's. And they usually were full with uranium. Mid level players who could do drac60 (because they invested in a good mid-level fleet) are now back to endless grind to scrap some uranium.

    Or they are back to asking the sector to prep the targets. Which bypasses any reason why kix thinks it should be more difficult. I could kill a prepped target with 0 damage. But what is the fun to ask for prepped targets? This is not Begging Pirates, I want to play myself. And kix once more screwed up a change.

    VERY ANNOYING

    I was replying to shapu who obviously has the gear to do it. I don't recall every saying anything about being given the tokens freely. Sorry that your smart arse response on my math was proven to be inadequate.

    You don't need to spend anything at all. No one is holding a gun to your head making you coin a new fleet every raid. Or any raid for that matter.

    Again you fail to grasp the point. Having the gear to do it and actually grinding it are 2 very separate things. You said, "we get at least 6 days of ship build tokens a month". - False. Players may choose to grind for tokens. Your math still holds no water.

    Perhaps while you are working on your math skills, you should also work on your communication skills - or lack thereof

    err you've mixed up the order of the posts. Luke's response was to me saying you get 6 days to Shapu .. who does have the gear to be able to do it. I then questioned whether luke had the gear or not - ie whether he was in the same position as Shapu. Not sure what you're getting at.

    also if you have the gear and are not prepared to put in the effort that's on you. The option is there. Which i recommend all non coiners work towards. Many of us can knock an elite over in under an hour. i do wish they'd add another higher level target for more points though.

    Again you fail to grasp the obvious. You are claiming that players get 6 days of tokens a month. They do not. Players may choose to grind to get them. How are you failing to understand that?

    Secondly, what makes you say that I don't put forth the effort? Perhaps you meant, "Also if players have the gear and are not prepared to put in the effort that's on them.

    Finally, good for you that you are able to get 50Million points in 1 hour. Most players cannot complete the task in under an hour.

    I do have carriers. Only one built. They take ages.

    I probably have the tech now to do 85s once thru.( Takes me 2 hrs but can do one for around 5 hrs damage if i dont muck up) But i play the game for fun and could not possibly put that much seat time in every week. Id rather watch paint dry than grind those 85s over and over, I really dont see that as fun.

    So I dont and wont see these build tokens for a long long long very long time. Unless i become a preferred customer, I honestly dont blame players becoming them.

    dunno why you're getting those panties in a bunch.

    i'd say its a fact its possible to get at least 6 days of tokens a month. Player choice to do so or not is up to them.

    I don't pretend to speak on behalf of all players as others do sorry.

    It helps to play the game more efficiently though, if you can think of possibilities.

    I see it is your communication failure that is the issue here. You need to learn how to use the English word, "can".
    Example: Players can get 6 days of ship build tokens a month. VS Players get 6 days of ship build tokens a month.

    Therein lies the problem. You see, in English, the word can is used to describe a possibility. Without it, your sentence describes a situation where players freely receive said tokens.
    You meant to say it is a possibility if players choose to grind the 85's, so you failed to include the English word describing possibilty, can.
    I know English as a second language can be difficult.

    On the other hand, you must be a good player to destroy nine level 85 stronghold's in under an hour. Or at least have a lot of high end fleets.
    Keep up the good work!
